<div dir="ltr"><div>Here are my suggestions, just at first glance:</div><div><br/></div>1.

(I&#39;m assuming that currently, it appears on the main page if the person is moderating at least one group?) </div></div></div>j.olivia.catlady@...

<p>Changes to the site this week:</p>
<ul>
<li>NEW: More work on the new notifications system.</li>
<li>API: Changed <code>gallery_url</code> field in the photo and attachment objects to <code>thumbnail_url</code> because it&#39;s more clear.</li>
<li>API: Added <code>getalbums</code> and <code>getphotos</code> endpoints.</li>
<li>API: Changed <code>profile_photo_id</code> field in <code>member_info</code> to <code>profile_photo_url</code>.</li>
<li>BUGFIX: We had disabled signature parsing in plain text messages where we couldn&#39;t tell if the sig was part of the reply or the original message. That change wasn&#39;t also added to html messages.</li>
<li>BUGFIX: Subscribing to a subgroup via email did not work.</li>
<li>BUGFIX: Fixed a loophole that would sometimes allow emails from numbered qq.com accounts through.</li>
<li>API: Added <code>/chatmembers</code> endpoint.</li>
<li>API: Fixed bug in <code>/joinchat</code> endpoint that caused it to return a <code>no_group_specified</code> error.</li>
<li>API: Added <code>updateprofile</code> endpoint.</li>
<li>API: Added <code>num_drafts</code> field to <code>member_info</code> object.</li>
<li>API: Added <code>updateprofilephoto</code> and <code>deleteprofilephoto</code> endpoints.</li>
<li>CHANGE: No longer allowing the CSS height attribute because in some instances we were ending up with archives that had overlapping text at the bottom.</li>
<li>BUGFIX: After creating a group, fix text for groups that are unlisted but with public archives.</li>
</ul>
<p>Have a good weekend everyone.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Please check out <a href="https://groups.io/account?page=notifications" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://groups.io/account?page=notifications</a>, it&#39;s a first pass at a notifications preference page.</p>
<p>Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>The message notification preference is now just a checkbox.</li>
<li>You can set the frequency as to how often you receive email notifications.</li>
<li>You (will be able to) customize notifications on a per-group basis.</li>
<li>These are not a canonical list of notifications, just some of them.</li>
<li>The page doesn&#39;t actually do anything yet; no changes are saved and it is not linked to from anywhere except this message right now.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please let me know your thoughts.</p>

This requested feature will depend upon the upcoming Notifications upgrade.<br/><br/>I continue to get caught up in generating a reply to a message without realizing that there are more replies in the topic and that my reply may no longer be applicable. This could include those that I have not yet read or new ones that are arriving while I am composing my reply.<br/><br/>Hence, I would like to see a &#34;New Messages&#34; indicator in the compose window that shows an active count of the messages in this topic that I haven&#39;t yet read. That would be best. A second best would be feedback when I hit &#34;Send&#34;. It would only come up if I hadn&#39;t yet read all replies in the topic.<br/><br/>A tertiary alternative would be making it easier to view the thread easily while composing. As it is now, I have to open up another browser tab and then futz around with drafts which do or don&#39;t show up until refreshing the browser, etc. Actually, that might be a worthwhile improvement on its own, even without the new Notification system.<br/><br/>-- <br/>Geraldgroupsio@...

<p>Oh, I see what you mean. I was imagining that &#34;Follow&#34; would be on the topic rather than an individual message, whereas &#34;Like&#34; is on an individual message. And I was imagining that if the person has checked &#34;Autofollow Likes&#34; in their advanced settings, then as with Autofollow replies, they would follow any topic in which they&#39;d &#34;Liked&#34; a message. But yes, putting &#34;Follow&#34; on every individual message would be more in line with being able to &#34;Follow&#34; from within any individual message of a topic. </p>
